Two skin packs are also available. Skin Pack 1 is perfect for hardcore PlayStation fans. It brings a bunch of Sony stalwarts including Nathan “Uncharted” Drake, folks from Heavy Rain, some Killzone dudes, and Sly Cooper. The Battle and Beasts skin pack includes koalas, a Cleopatra look-a-like, various cavemen, and an octopus. It’s the most eclectic pack currently available.

For those of you who aren’t content with the classic Minecraft styling, two new texture packs are also launching. The City Texture pack is perfect for the modernist Minecrafter; it’ll give your creations a more clean, clinical look. The Plastic Texture pack makes things look a lot more, erm, plasticy.

1) Updates on vita version? Was hoping this would release sooner.
2) Will vita version be closer (map size) to ps3 or ps4 version?
3) Cross buy between 3/4/vita (when they release)?
4) Updates on PS4 version?
5) Any good will gesture for making us wait a year and a half after ‘other’ versions? Like a couple of free skins?
6) Any chance of PS Plus discounts on skin and texture packs?

1) We don’t have a date set for the Vita version yet sorry. As soon as we do, I’ll let you know!
2) The map size will be closer to the PS3 version.
3) That’s still to be decided, sorry.
4) The PS4 release date is also not confirmed.
5) You’ll get the awesome PS4 version on Minecraft, on your favourite console! Nothing is confirmed yet.
6) Could happen, but not yet decided.

Sorry for the lack of info! I understand that it might be frustrating for you guys, but we don’t want to make false promises until everything is set in cobblestone. :)

Cool, Few questions though.

question why on the psn store on ps vita does some game are not listed on the application like ninja gaiden 2 sima plus for ps vita or DLC for other titles please can someone answer this question for me ?

I guess you guys are never going to get rid of PS Plus Vita games Uncharted, Wipeout, and Gravity Rush are you? I am so tired of seeing these games as free. Can’t you guys pick 3 more? Rotate them out? Something?
PLEASE GET THESE GAMES OFF PS PLUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Owen Hill It’s fine, little info is better than no info. Good to see that the Vita and PS4 versions is still at least coming this year. Maybe I’ll consider buying the Vita version day one if the release date gets announced.

Kingdom hearts skins are a gold or a diamond mine (lol) cross buy would be cool even if it was just vita/ps3 and vita/ ps4 just give us vita with both console versions but keep the console versions separate. That way you guys get money and we all get a vita version. Really like the Playstation skins keep them coming. Like maybe DMC, Medevil, saints row, and gta skins. Last of us skins are a given right?

ahhh, these look great!! I love how instantly recognizable Zoran is from his eyes alone ^_^

That said, I’m still awaiting the PS4 version of Minecraft – but I’ll surely buy all of these if they’re available on the PS4 as well. (#skinaholic.)
Eagerly awaiting the release date for that, and keep up the great work!

Hopefully this is just the start of catching us up with the 360; I got all the DLC so far (and I’m sporting Nate as my primary skin atm :P ), but… well, that Mass Effect Mashup pack they have? That looks amazing and I’d love to see that.

I love the new update but since I’ve explored my current map to the max (at least in the overworld), I need to find a new map to start over with so I can take part in all the new features. Kind of a shame since I’ve been on the same map pretty much since the game came out but oh well, no big deal. Any seed suggestions to start over with?

been waiting to play minecraft for ever, my pc isnt good and its hard to play with friends, waited for ever for it to come to ps3, and when it finally did, i didn’t have one anymore because i got a ps4, and now you can’t even give us a single hint on when it might be released, i swear to god if the xbox one version comes out before the ps4 version and not at the same time, im just going to forget this game all together and move on

don’t get your hopes up waiting for a vita release. it was march, now pushed back to may. suppose it will be pushed back when may comes along because they concentrating on the xbox one and ps4 versions.

to be honest i don’t think they have even started on developing it because we got no proof at all! just dangling us by a thread getting us to spend even more money on a late release. minecraft was released on the xbox 360 2 years ago come may. 2 years!

come on 4J – prove me wrong and give us some proof that the vita minecraft development has actually started

hey 4j i was just wondering if in the next update would it be possible if you could add a skin pack with some “the last of us” skins to the ps3 edition because i love minecraft and the last of us, and i think it wold be cool running around the minecraft world as joel or ellie

I understand that it takes time to work out all the kinks and what not but I’m tired of waiting and to add insult to injury we don’t even have a release date . Im really sick of getting to the short end of the stick when it comes to the PS Vita , I think it’s a cool system but there are just no games to back it. My current collection of games consist of all PSP games and just when I think I’m gonna have a awesome game To play finally I get the runaround. SMH

But I think 4J studios chosen both PS4 and Xbox One first then the finally Vita. both are develop first, because I saw some early screenshots about the game from both of these console (PS4 and Xbox One) since early February, but 4J chose both to make it easy or enhancing the PS3 and the Xbox 360’s versions to port the game in both of these Next Generation Consoles. I knew they mention “next couple of weeks” maybe next 2 weeks to announce? I think? So learn your lesson on waiting of the Vita version maybe start developing on late March or early April.

but I don’t think so about the release date, but maybe they release sometime in late April or May or neither soon.

i have the last 3 playstations ps3 ps4 and ps vita i dont care if minecraft is triple crossbuy but atleast like this ps3/ps4
ps3/psvita ps4/psvita like that becuse it’s kind of a little too low on price to get it on all three for one but tha’s just my opinion
